I’m excited to attend the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia 2024 PAGE Real Estate and Construction Summit next Tuesday! This year's focus is on setting diversity goals from the start, including EOP development, architecture, and engineering. As a nonprofit partner of SupplyPHL, one of our main goals is to create a networking space for GC’s, CM’s, primes, subs, owners, and more to continue the conversation about how we can boost MBE participation in Philly's construction scene. I’ll be moderating a panel of thought leaders in this space, and I’m excited to learn about their findings and initiatives.
